It has 2 names:
- in the Components dialog it's listed as "Microsoft Internet Controls".
- in the toolbox tooltip shows "WebBrowser"

Well, it's actually dll - ieframe.dll - it should be in System32 folder.

I'm afraid I can't help you with that.
Are you saying you were able to use it one day and not the following day?
If so what have you done to your system between two points in time?
Did you perhaps upgrade your Internet Explorer?

deleted IE all together ......forgot to download another browser so i had to burn the ie setup.exe to a disk from another pc in the house then install it from the disk but that fixed my problem lol it would have been alot easier if i would have downloaded the installer or another browser before removing IE haha ....man i hate feeling like a tard thanks for your help though
